Fiskur
'What I’ve learned from Scott is that kind of pride in songwriting; being able to put yourself into it, the drive and ambition for yourself in music.' Fiskur's Ross Clark wanted to pay tribute to his friend Scott Hutchison and covered Frightened Rabbit's 'Good Arms vs Bad Arms', for the first time live in a random tile workshop in Amsterdam.
Marcus Hamblett
Marcus Hamblett is a man of many talents. Not only does he play guitar, bass, trumpet and keys, he also produces records and sometimes releases them. The chances you've seen him perform his solo instrumental pieces are a bit smaller, but I've got you covered with this intriguing session filmed at brewpub De Kromme Haring in Utrecht.
Carson McHone
The Austin-based songwriter Carson McHone visited us in Utrecht's finest record store Plato with her band to record two originals and a dangerously addictive Teddy Thompson cover.
Anaïs Mitchell
When Anaïs Mitchell recorded this session for The Influences in 2017, she toured as Josh Ritter's support. She recorded covers of Bob Dylan and Rachel Ries (Her Crooked Heart) and a song from her award winning musical Hadestown.
Man Of Moon
Ever since my friend plugged their song The Road, I’ve been listening to Scottish indie rock duo Man of Moon. During their European tour with Django Django, we recorded 'Sign' and Fleetwood Mac’s 'World Turning'.
Lilly Hiatt
When Lilly Hiatt’s third record Trinity Lane surfaced in 2017, something just seemed to click. Her songs and the records sound blend so seamlessly. ‘It was a pretty natural thing’, Hiatt remembers: ‘I had a group of people creating that record with me that I really trusted, so it wasn't very overthought. We just went for it.’
